Tape Shows Mark After Alleged Murder Monday, August 02, 2004
SALT LAKE CITY — Soon after authorities believe Mark Hacking (search) killed his wife, he is seen inside a convenience store, where he repeatedly checked his hands, pulled something out of his watch and apparently avoided eye contact with other customers.
His early morning trip to the Maverik convenience store is captured in a surveillance video, obtained exclusively by FOX News. The tape was taken at approximately 1:30 a.m. Monday, July 19 — the same day Mark's wife Lori Hacking (search) was reported missing.

Mark Hacking told police he was asleep at that time, according to sources. The Maverik convenience store lies a few blocks from the Hackings' apartment.
In the video, Mark Hacking, alone and dressed in hospital pants, enters the store and walks down the candy aisle in an apparent attempt to steer clear of another patron. He then approaches the clerk's counter, where he buys a pack of lime-flavored Camel cigarettes, sources say.
Mark and Lori Hacking went to the same store together at around 9:30 p.m. earlier that Sunday, according to reports. Many believe that was the last time Lori was seen alive.
During that first trip to the store, Mark Hacking was wearing shorts and bought soda. He gestured to the clerk, named Eric Holleman, in an apparent signal asking him not to tell his wife he buys cigarettes, since the clerk mentioned to Lori Hacking that he sees him in the store all the time.
Holleman was not the clerk on duty when Mark Hacking returned alone at 1:30 a.m.
FOX News obtained the video following Monday's announcement that police arrested Mark in Lori Hacking's death, just before his scheduled release from a psychiatric ward.

this guy is just pure evil or he is an absolute idiot or maybe both...
Lime-flavored Camel cigarettes? Never heard of those.
His stupidity is helping the investigators. Thank God for his stupidity....the wretch. He's a lying sack of you know what. His parents must be feeling such shame and heartache right now.
This video evidence, among other things, is probably what convinced the SLC police to convict him.
I smoked Camels for 53 years(Have quit). What have they done to their cigarettes..??..
That should bolster his insanity defense!
That's doubtful. He's convinced his parents, and her Mother, that he is innocent.

Gad! I am so sick of all the news channels covering all these murders wall-to-wall as if the future of the nation depend on it. All these are local events, not national!
I wish all the news would get back to news that has a bearing on our lives...
Lori Hacking pinglist--if you want on or off, let me know via freepmail!
Fox is showing the video fairly frequently. It's utterly and completely damning. If it's admitted into evidence, he's toast. It's also chilling: one has the impression we're watching a murderer making last minute checks for blood and other visible evidence of what he's just done. Even (apparently) smelling his hands--doesn't want that bloody smell following him around. I hope it haunts him in his dreams.
If that isn't a sign of the End Times, I don't what is.
About that "smell". Lime tends to mask that, doesn't it?

I'm not so sure he's convinced them he's innocent. Lady Lawyer posted a little something that made sense of how they seem to be acting. Maybe she'll repost it here.
Supidity, or just plain arrogance I wonder? Some of these jerks think of themselves as "master criminals" who can outwit anyone--and certainly Mark has a track record of outwitting friends and family for years and years. My take--he just thinks he's too darned smart to get caught.
You smoke 'em with their tortilla-flavored cigarettes. Next up--salsa-flavored cigs.
These Hacking threads are all over the board. We need to stay in one place.
